The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Migrate SQL Sever 2000 bak file to SQL server 2005

Asked by Data-Man in SQL Server 2005, MS SQL Server

Tags: SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2008, Backup file

Hi all,
    I have been busy getting my new servers up and running and ran into a small problem.
    My current databases are in SQL Server 2000 and on servers in Virginia that I access remotely.  They are fully functional and backed up every night.
    My new database servers are in Texas and running SQL Server 2005 that I access remotely.  
    Here is the problem.  The databases are about 1G apiece and I tried scripting the entire database in SQL Server 2000 and running in the 2005 but there were some errors in some of the scripts.  
    So next I ftped the bak file from the 2000 machine to the 2005 machine.  

    I tried to restore, but I get an error as soon as I try, The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing database name here database.

    I also tried restore files or file groups and got the same error.  

   How can I take the bak file from 2000 and get it running under 2005?  Is there a better way to go about this?

    I already copied the logins from 2000 to 2005.  I found a white paper from Microsoft that helped migrate all the user names.

    If I create a script in 2000 for each type of database objects, that seems to work, but it iis very slow and doesn't get the data from 2000 to 2005.  Thoughts?

    I have been googling for solutions and they say to use the bak fille, but it doesn't seem to work for me.  I am at a loss and am turning to EE.

Thanks,
Mike
